And I'm not trying to be rude, or say my beliefs are superior to yours, so this won't turn into cussing and name calling, but the ten commandments don't mean the things in that video; not in that way.

What part of "must be put to death" is difficult to interpret?

The author of the video no longer participates in these discussions, but you are welcome to join the forum and help us understand what the Ten Commandments actually mean. Keep in mind though, that the site is generally atheists who no longer believe there is a god or gods.

Then... what do they mean? I mean some of them like "thou shalt not kill" and "thou shalt not steal" are pretty cut-and-dry.

You'd think so, but you're wrong. Theists can twist even the simplest of sentences to suit their own SPAG.

Anyway, Mr./Ms./Mrs. #2761, there's a very simple way to prove the Bible is repulsive: just read it. And I mean all of it; not just the bits you hear about in church. After you do that, the next step is finding who/what to worship is simple. You can choose the almighty jug of milk, which will answer any and all prayers with either "yes", "no", or "wait", or you can worship Me. I do something no other god in existence did, does, or will do: I will interact with you (during specific hours of the day). That said, I do answer most prayers with "no". It's a trade-off you might want to consider.

I can say with full confidence I have obeyed the command not to boil a goat in its mother's milk. Were it not for that commandment, well... I don't know what I would have done - maybe gone off all crazy boiling goats in milk like a madman. Or, YHWH forbid, I might have looked for a sneaky exception, like boiling it in cow's milk (because everyone knows how great an idea boiling milk is).

If xian hell really exists, the stench of the burning billions of us should be a constant, putrid reminder to the handful of heavenward xians how loving your god is. - neopagan

Nah. He didn't berate you or condemn you for not maintaining the strictest grammar. He just corrected you. As such, not so much Grammar Nazi as Grammar Agent of the Weimar Republic.
